The work of a group of local photographers is going on display in Blondin Park (W5 4UR)on the border of Ealing and Brentford.
It is a relaunch of the outdoor gallery with a new exhibition by the Ealing London Independent Photographers (LIP) group.
Commissioned by The Blondin Consortium, fourteen local photographers have spent the summer documenting the life of the Park and come up with fresh angles on how the community make use of the space and facilities there.

Dog walkers, Morris dancers and a range of nature all feature.
Blondin Park is named after Charles Blondin, the French tightrope walker famous for crossing the Niagara Gorge, who lived locally. His legacy is still alive today thanks to Nick Piovanelli, a local performer who is included in the exhibition too.

The gallery is free to everyone to enjoy and work out where in the Park the photographs were taken.

The exhibition will be featured in this year's BEAT (Borough of Ealing Art Trail) in September. It's another outdoor venue for the group's work, in addition to Ealing Unlocked on the facade of Ealing police station which is still available to view.
